At it's extreme: We've all seen cars at the strip that can lift the front wheels off the ground and likely have seen them get beat by a faster car that stays flat and just launches level off the line. I'm sure the experience in the wheel lifting car "Feels more powerful"
The track setting in 2015+ SRTs is stiffer than track on MRC equipped 2016+ SSs, in all metrics: dive, squat and roll. It's also better to launch on softer settings because of weight transfer to the rear. Otherwise the Challenger is just heavier and undertired.
